Hillel hosts talks on public policy, inner-city issues
By Jason S. Grant
Staff Writer
Visiting shelters for the homeless and learning hands-on approaches to urban problems are some of the issues 150 Jewish students from around the country will discuss at the annual Spitzer Forum on Public Policy.
The forum, which started yesterday and runs through Tuesday at the university's Hillel Jewish Center, is intended to bring Jewish students together in a common cause to discuss national and international issues that have a profound effect on the Jewish community.
"We represent the Jewish student population of the United States and we should not be bound by geographic differences," said Martin Wahl, president of USC Jewish Student Union.
The main discussions of the forum will be held at the Hillel House. However, students will also travel by bus to Los Angeles City Hall and visit local social service agencies to see how these organizations handle many of the social problems in
the urban community.
The forum, formerly the Washington Conference on Public Policy, was endowed by Jack and Charlotte Spitzer, leaders in the American Jewish community. It is now officially known as the Spitzer Forum on Public Policy, said Rabbi Susan Laemmle, director of USC Hillel.
"This is the first time this conference has been outside of Washington. This was done for two reasons," Laemmle said. "First, to include other parts of the country where there are Hillel Foundations and to show that there is Jewish life outside of the Eastern corridor. Second of all, because of the L.A. riots focusing attention on the urban agenda."
"(The forum) brings Jewish students together for three days to discuss relevant public policy issues," said Matthew Heller, a senior who has attended the conference for all four years of his college career. 'Topics range from the federal government to what affects Jewish students on campus from birth control and community activism to anti-Semitism and racism."
Critique receives $800 from senate
By Ana Thorson
Staff Writer
Critique, a new campus literary magazine, is one step closer to widespread distribution after Student Senate decided last week to allocate $800 for it.
The resolution, which passed unanimously at Wednesday night's meeting, stipulated that the funding be “conditional upon the successful raising of
operational costs for publishing."
The news was well-received by the university's literary community, which has been without an official publication since Junkyard Dog lost its funding last fall.
Junkyard Dog collapsed last year due to budget problems. Darya Khoshkou, editor of Junkyard Dog, said she is upset that Critique will receive money from
the Student Senate and Junkyard Dog did not.
Student Senator Salil Desh-pande, however, said the Senate offered Khoshkou money twice last fall. According to Deshpande, Khoshkou argued that the first offer was insufficient.
"The second time, she never followed through," Deshpande said.
Critique is now scrambling for for more donations from the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences and other organizations. Michael Linn, editor of Critique, said that if everything goes as planned, the first issue of Critique will hit the newstands in April and continue biannual publication.

Program motivates teenage students
By Kim Smith
Staff Writer
A neighborhood program centered on the USC campus is offering South Central students with C-level grades a chance at a subsidized college education.
The Neighborhood Academic Initiative program was created at USC in 1985, in response to a lack of minority students in the graduate progam, said NAI director James C. Fleming.
The NAI's pre-college program, implemented two years ago, has enrolled 113 students from Adams and Foshay junior high schools. If they complete the program and satisfy the entrance requirements, the students will receive full-tuition scholarships to USC.
"My fundamental goal," said Fleming, who holds a PhD from Harvard, "is ... to prove that all students can be learners, that every human being has an innate predisposition to learn."
The NAI program has five major components: the Pre-College Enrichment Academy, the Family Development Institute, the Outreach Program, the Retention Program and ongoing research and development.
The Pre-College Enrichment Academy (PCEA) is the program's focus, bringing junior high students to the USC campus for two hours every morning, with additional hours on Saturday and during school district intersessions. Public school (See NAI, page 2)
Job hunting made easy with USC’s help
By Kim Smith
Staff Writer
Despite the recession and financial cutbacks in the defense industry, USC graduates still have a good chance of finding jobs after graduation, according to the Center for Career Development.
Though the recession and government cuts have affected on-campus recruitment and graduate job hunting, students who begin hunting early still have a good chance of finding employment, said Jerry Houser, director of the CCD.
"For students, it's more competitive . . . (but) compa-
nies can't just cut off all college hiring," Houser said.
"They need younger people to fill gaps left by internal promotions and as entering classes for in-house training programs. College recruitment is not dead."
But Houser also said the number of companies coming to USC for Career Day and on-campus interviews has dropped.
While 130 companies were involved in last year's Career Day, only about 100 have signed up to talk to students this year. Larger companies, he said, are doing less hiring.
